Precise slitting of woven and welded mesh
During the slitting process, we cut a wide strip of metal mesh lengthways into one or more narrower strips. We adjust the blades and machine settings to suit the type of mesh and the required width. This enables us to precisely slit both woven and welded mesh into strips.
Royal Dinxperlo is able to work to relatively tight dimensional tolerances. This results in mesh strips of a consistent width. Consequently, the strips are suitable for further processing into filters, technical components and other bespoke products.
In addition, we produce the mesh strips to customer specifications and deliver them in a practical manner. This means the customer does not receive a wide roll that needs to be cut in-house, but mesh in the exact width required by their own production process.
More efficient further processing
By supplying metal mesh directly in the correct strip width, customers can simplify various internal production steps. This is because they no longer need to cut the material to size themselves. As a result, they can feed the mesh directly into a machine or process it into a finished product.
Mesh cut into strips offers several advantages:
- Reduced internal cutting and preparation time.
- No need for in-house equipment to cut the mesh into strips.
- A consistent width along the entire length.
- Fewer manual operations.
- Faster processing within the production process.
- Reduced risk of dimensional variations between strips.
- More efficient use of material.
- Lower processing costs.
Stripping is therefore not merely a customisation process. It also helps customers to organise their production flow more efficiently. Furthermore, a consistent strip width reduces the risk of deviations during further processing.
Applications of wire mesh strips
Manufacturers use wire mesh in strip form for a wide range of industrial and technical applications. For example, it is suitable for:
- Filter and sieve assemblies.
- Manufacture of filter elements.
- Protective and ventilation components.
- Wire mesh inserts for machinery.
- Reinforcement of technical components.
- Continuous production processes with fixed web widths.
- Components to be formed or welded at a later stage.
- Customised semi-finished products.
The application and subsequent processing ultimately determine the required strip width and design. We therefore carefully tailor the dimensions and method of delivery to the customer’s production process.
Wire mesh strips to customer specifications
For every order, we assess the best way to process the wire mesh into strips. In doing so, we take into account, amongst other things:
- Woven or welded wire mesh.
- The type of material.
- The wire diameter and mesh size.
- The required strip width.
- The permitted dimensional tolerance.
- The required length or quantity.
- The preferred method of delivery.
- Any further processing required.
First, we assess the properties of the wire mesh and the technical requirements of the application. We then set the machines to the desired strip width and tolerances. In this way, we produce wire mesh strips that fit seamlessly into the subsequent production process.
Royal Dinxperlo manufactures and processes the wire mesh in-house. This enables us to carefully coordinate mesh production with the final strip width. Furthermore, we maintain control over dimensions and quality throughout the entire process.
